Too bad osnews.com doesn't publish articles like this :-)

Since you appear to be the author of the article linked here, I guess you're insinuating that you submitted it to OSNews and they didn't publish it?

This is after all "OSNews".

During a demo I would open different applications and leave them all running, including several videos. All smoothly running simultaneously.

At the end of the session I would just switch off the machine without closing apps and without doing a proper "shut down". You could see peoples' faces when I turned on the machine again and get my BeOS running in a few seconds with no disk corruptions or checks.

You wouldn't dare to do that with other OSes then. It was so much ahead of it's time.

I'm testing now the new release of Haiku. I wish good luck to the Haiku team.

It performs really well, even under some pretty high load. That's one of my favourite FS's, just because I've seen it in action for so long time and I have some comparison with other FS's. BFS and FFS/2 - these are my champions in everyday work [and yes, I know it's like apples and peaches, but I'm referring to *BSDs and BeOS/Haiku].

There are many good things happening.

I love Haiku OS, and I can't wait for it to be finished (and 64 bit in the near future, I hope). I always save some GiB's in hope that it'll be stable and useful soon.

Go Haiku!

ARS has paid staff, we've got a bunch of volunteers. It's one thing to be happy about the article, it's another to start griping that we don't write this stuff in our spare time when we all have real jobs too.

True, but now that OSNews has officially come out of the closet with their already obvious Haiku bias (and who can blame them? really? I mean really?

) I'm expecting alot more Haiku pimping

So enough with all this web crap for a while and have Thom ride his unicorn over to the Haiku camp and do some interesting interviews and stuff, this years 'Google summer of code' projects would be a good starting point for a good article methinks.

Ahwell, just a friendly suggestion
